Lookout Cloud Access Security Broker

Lookout Cloud Access Security Broker delivers zero-trust cloud application security and context-aware access control designed to protect sensitive corporate assets across sanctioned cloud environments and unmanaged personal endpoints. Operating within Lookout's unified Security Service Edge (SSE) framework, it provides organizations with continuous data protection and risk-based access governance across enterprise cloud estates.

The solution intercepts and analyzes user traffic to cloud services, enforcing dynamic access policies based on real-time risk telemetry. Key technical capabilities include deep content inspection powered by advanced machine-learning DLP, automated classification of regulated data (such as social security numbers and medical records), digital rights management (DRM) encryption applied automatically upon file download, multi-factor step-up authentication enforcement for high-risk actions, and real-time account takeover mitigation. If a user attempts to access corporate cloud apps from a jailbroken or compromised device, access is immediately blocked.

Regulated financial institutions, healthcare providers, and multinational corporations implement Lookout Cloud Access Security Broker to support secure hybrid work models. It integrates natively with enterprise identity providers, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and central SIEM platforms. Common operational use cases include permitting read-only access to corporate webmail on unmanaged personal smartphones while blocking file downloads, preventing sensitive customer spreadsheets from being shared externally, discovering shadow SaaS tools used by employees, and fulfilling stringent statutory data privacy standards.
